Well indeed, Greg Moore presumably being your example here.

They may as well shut down the TV production truck and send the guys home, I thought the direction was poor yesterday afternoon, but tonight there might as well be no TV coverage at all...

I don't know why they can't tap into the circuit CCTV, seeing as the few cameramen there seem to be out on the circuit have decided to go to sleep or just deliberately miss everything!

AndreasDavour · 14 Jun 2009, 03:14 (Ref:2482531)

What happened now?!

**joeb** · 14 Jun 2009, 03:15 (Ref:2482533)

Is the #3 car still running? it says so on timing, but I haven't seen it lately

Eurosport don't control the TV images.

The guys with cameras must have heard my request!

Unfortunately, there have been several very nasty, injury crashes (mostly in the IRL, but yes, a few in CART as well) over the past decade or so. The 1999, 2001, 2004 (I think), and 2006 seasons were particularly bad.

i don't have the best connection speed in the world here, so I'm happy to just have a video stream and RLM running pretty smoothly. What is the top 10 looking like at present, and how are the Astons doing?

The prior safety car was well deserved. What's the point of this endless one?

**joeb** · 14 Jun 2009, 03:38 (Ref:2482542)

so any official word on the Lizards car being in an incident? The Lizard blog doesn't give details

I think Lizards involved?

MCWB · 14 Jun 2009, 03:38 (Ref:2482545)

It's like a Nascar or Indycar "Caution for debris", seems to go forever and no-one knows why!

HORNDAWG · 14 Jun 2009, 03:39 (Ref:2482546)

Finish cleaning up the Pesca. Pug.and also it seems that the #31 & #5 tried to mate going into the first chicane. So the ACO chose to do a full clean-up.

edit: now it seems it was the Racing Box and not the essex, offspring a mat-Mutt.

L.P.

Strakka spins on restart.

Tom.

Purist · 14 Jun 2009, 03:42 (Ref:2482548)

Thanks guys.

The two operations I have going now seem to work alright, but sometimes even just navigating the forum here on top of RLM and streaming is giving this machine some real hiccups.

I know. Sadly it's your usual French TV motorsport production, they're always awful. I don't understand why the ACO don't bring in WIGE to produce the coverage, they do an excellent job with the Nurburgring 24hrs and DTM. It's probably down to national pride, though how they can be pround of this I don't know...

airbusA346 · 14 Jun 2009, 03:49 (Ref:2482551)

#75 Stop/Go Penalty.

Tom.

Dudley · 14 Jun 2009, 03:55 (Ref:2482555)

Someone tell Eurosport it was clearly the 1.

The359 · 14 Jun 2009, 03:55 (Ref:2482556)

What's the stop for?

Holt · 14 Jun 2009, 03:57 (Ref:2482557)

I can only wonder what the R15's speed would be like if it was a coupe

The Peugeot makes up almost all its time on the straights

airbusA346 · 14 Jun 2009, 04:02 (Ref:2482558)

#30 stopped.

Tom.
